We Can Have Fun Myspace

This is a split I did under the name We Can Have Fun with my friend Kevin from Fung Wah Bus?. My side is reminiscent of They Might Be Giants and the Moldy Peaches. Kevin’s side reminds me a lot Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith. We both recorded these songs in our bedroom. I hope you enjoy it.

I’m thinking this is the end of HtBSR.  Sad to see it come to an end, but all good things must eventually stop.  Glad that we’ve had some followers, and I’m happy to know you enjoyed the music we shared.  If you want to contact us, you can click the “Contributors” link in the sidebar and contact us via last.fm.  If you ever want me to recommend you an album, I gladly will.

Thanks for supporting us through our short run.  I won’t say goodbye, though.  It sounds too sad.  Instead, I’ll say Bon Voyage.

Bon Voyage.

Super Pie Me

Basically, I’m attempting to eat at least one slice of pizza everyday this month all from “local” places. You can follow me on my journey there.

In case you were wondering, this basically means I’ll stop posting here maybe forever. I’m really sick of uploading to WordPress, and I basically listen to the same bands over and over now-a-days.

I really hope some people will e-mail me back and forth. I would like to get to the point where I could send out blank CDs to addresses across the country periodically and become pen pals or something like that.

I hope to talk to you all soon,

Teddy

P.S. This doesn’t mean the blog is ending; Ryan still posts here a bit, and maybe we could get new contributors (that we select).

Pure angsty 80′s pop.  That’s what this album is.  And I wouldn’t have it any other way.  It’s one of my favorites, in fact.  Give it a try.  And I’m probably gonna be seeing them in Detroit this August.  Can’t wait for that.  Sorry for taking so long with this post.  Something was up with WordPress and I couldn’t upload any pictures for some reason.

One of my favorite albums to listen to for the past few days.  Very catchy and quirky.  Sparks is one of the defining pop bands of the 70′s, and I feel rather stupid for just now discovering them.  Don’t make my mistake.  Download this and listen today.  You won’t be disappointed.

Beck’s regular style of music and lyricism was replaced for a more simpler one with this album.  The lyrics are sadder, the music is more melancholy, and that’s what I like about it.  Sea Change is definitely my favorite Beck album (of the ones I’ve listened to so far) and it’s a nice album to have in your collection, and a great listen.  Also, I apologize for not posting this past week or so.  Blame computer trouble and my recent addiction to AMC’s “Breaking Bad”.

I saw this band a little less than a month ago. They were so good. They put so much energy into their set. After the show I didn’t have enough money to buy one of their CDs, so I traded them Eight Below (on Blu-Ray), King Kong (on DVD), and about 80 cents in exchange for one of their DIY, homemade CDs.

Awesome upbeat indie-pop that has high energy with sorta downer lyrics. Or maybe I’m wrong.

P.S. I don’t post much here anymore. I don’t really like doing write-ups. They all seem like I’m re-stating myself, and I can’t really express how I feel about the album. Oh well.

Really cool (but rather angsty) album I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately.  I’ve still got to check out their other albums and plan on getting on that soon.  For now, enjoy this one and I apologize for the lack of posts and rather short summaries lately.  I’ve been kind of pressed for time for the past while.
